What's the best way to redeploy 4 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 2: your skill sets in the modern age of artificial intelligence 5 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: and changing business models. I'm Barry Dhelts and on today's 6 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 2: edition of At the Money, we're going to discuss how 7 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 2: to manage your way through the challenges of technology driven change. 8 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 2: To help us unpack all of this and what it 9 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: means for your career, let's bring in veteran markets journalists 10 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: and CFA Sam Row. Sam is known for his clear, 11 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: data driven insights into markets and the economy. He spent 12 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 2: two decades working in the trenches for shops such as Forbes, Yahoo, Finance, 13 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: Business Insider, and Axios. He launched his own substack three 14 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 2: years ago ticker Tker, which earned him the Society of 15 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 2: Business and Editor and Writers Award for Best in Business 16 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two. So let's start with your background. 17 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: You earn a certified financial analyst, but you became a 18 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 2: financial journalist. Explain that initial career choice. 19 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, the initial plan actually was to figure out 20 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 3: a way to get into Wall Street. You know, if 21 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 3: we go even further back, I was working as a 22 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 3: contractor for a law firm that for whatever reason, got 23 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 3: me exposure to equity research for the first time. And 24 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 3: this is the first time I started to realize that 25 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 3: how asset valuation worked. And it's not just math than 26 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 3: spreadsheets and you know, a hard science, you know, theoretical exercise. 27 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: There's a lot of soft sciences involved in here because 28 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 3: you're dealing with human behavior. So I was interested in 29 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 3: getting into equity research. And my first job being able 30 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 3: to write about stocks or markets was at Forbes in 31 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 3: their investment Newsletters division. 32 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 2: So a traditional media outlet, but a sort of non 33 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: traditional position. That's kind of been your career history. So 34 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: you go from Forbes Newsletters, Yahoo Finance, Business Insider axios. 35 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 2: These are all post twenty twentieth century sort of technology 36 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: based news organization. 37 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, yeah, I mean even even Forbes when I 38 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 3: was there, I was there from two thousand and six 39 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 3: to twenty ten, was by far number one in terms 40 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 3: of news websites. They had tons and tons and tons 41 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 3: of traffic going to their website because they were one 42 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 3: of the first new outlets to really establish themselves in 43 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 3: the late nineties and early two thousands, and then of 44 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 3: course the financial crisis comes, and you know, business media 45 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 3: did not do very well during that time. I eventually 46 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 3: get laid off in twenty ten, and I'm in between 47 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 3: jobs a little bit, and then I end up at 48 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 3: Business Insider, where the business model is just completely different. 49 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 3: You know what. My last day at Forbes, actually had 50 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 3: a talk with my boss's boss in my office. That's 51 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 3: what the state of things were back then. Right, that 52 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 3: I could actually have an office at a print magazine 53 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 3: in a building in Greenwich. 54 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: Village seems super inefficient. 55 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 3: Well, I didn't realize how inefficient that was until I 56 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: ended up that Business Insider, where on my first day 57 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 3: on a desk that's probably about three feet wide in 58 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: a newsroom where we're basically just sitting their shoulder to 59 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 3: shoulder with every other editor and journalist, including you know, 60 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 3: the editor chief and the CEO of the company, and 61 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 3: the productivity there was insane. So yeah, like in the 62 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 3: snap of a finger, I realize, you know, there's a 63 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 3: reason why we had layoffs at my previous employer. 64 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: So that took place in twenty ten. But really we've 65 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: seen technology really hurting traditional media's business model since the 66 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: nineteen nineties, So Craigslist really did a job on the 67 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 2: classified advertising business, which is a big driver. eBay was 68 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 2: another thing that took sales away from the traditional ad model. 69 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 2: Now it's things like Facebook, Marketplace, Zillow for real estate, 70 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 2: bring a trailer for automobiles. Technology has been taking big 71 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 2: chunks of the revenue streams from traditional media. It's now 72 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 2: three plus decades of this. When did you first start 73 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 2: to realize, hey, this entire underlying business model is under assault. 74 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 3: I think it was probably late in my business inside 75 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 3: our days and early in my Yahoo Finance days, where 76 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: we started to really begin to understand how much digital 77 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: news sites were beholden to the traffic coming from places 78 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 3: like Google Search and social media platforms like Facebook. But 79 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 3: then in terms of like the revenue perspective with advertising 80 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 3: and all of this stuff, the you quickly saw that 81 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 3: the economics of this was falling apart. And I think 82 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 3: that the advertisers were largely realizing that the roi of 83 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,119 Speaker 3: having ads on some of these sites, you know, weren't 84 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: as competitive as what they're doing now, which is having 85 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 3: an influencer on TikTok, you know, hockeing products. 86 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: So we're going to work a way up to social media. 87 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 2: I want to track your career. So you start Business 88 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 2: Insider in the twenty twenty eleven Yahoo finances when twenty sixteen, 89 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 2: so five years later, and then Axios. 90 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 3: Twenty twenty one for a very brief period. 91 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: And then you launch your substack back in twenty twenty 92 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: two when substack was still kind of young. We hadn't 93 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 2: quite hit you know, peak substack yet. Sure what was 94 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 2: the motivation to say, you know what, I have to 95 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: take control of this and do it on my own. 96 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 3: I think, you know, being in management at Yahoo Finance 97 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 3: and getting a little bit of exposure to it at 98 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 3: Business Insider. For me, I think it was as simple 99 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 3: at it was. Two. There's two parts to this one. 100 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 3: If you can keep your costs low, then I think 101 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 3: you can have a media operation. And related to costs, 102 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 3: if you can be if you have an audience, and 103 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 3: if you are sort of very deliberate about how who 104 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 3: your audience is and how big that audience and get, 105 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 3: then you can have the revenue to cover that cost 106 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 3: and you can have a nice small business like like 107 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 3: what I'm doing now. 108 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 2: So Substack really inverted the traditional media model back in 109 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: when you have an office and a salary. They're the 110 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 2: ones who are who are building subscriptions, running ads, doing 111 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: the business side of it. Your job in a traditional 112 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 2: media business is to just create content. The inversion is 113 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 2: writers now earn money based on their subscriptions, which are 114 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 2: driven in part by their content, but also their marketing, savage, 115 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: their branding, their reputations. Is this new content model a 116 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 2: modern meritocracy? 117 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 3: I think increasingly. I'm not sure if I would characterize 118 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 3: it that way. You know, I think about you know, 119 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 3: I spend a lot of time on TikTok and Twitch 120 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 3: and watch you know, all the various streamers that have 121 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 3: found career success. And there are some people who get massive, 122 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 3: and there are some people who have very medium sized, 123 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: you know, moderate sized audiences. The analogy that I've been 124 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 3: using lately when it comes to how people or how 125 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 3: media has been working is the difference between publicly traded 126 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 3: fast food companies and your favorite restaurant that's run by 127 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 3: mom and pop around the corner. Right. It's possible to 128 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 3: have a really great restaurant with just one outlet, Right. 129 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 3: I think if you ask most people, if you ask 130 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 3: them what their favorite restaurant is, it's a privately owned 131 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: family business somewhere. Because the red sauce will never be 132 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 3: replicated by Olive Garden or whatever. That doesn't mean, you know, 133 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 3: Olive Garden and McDonald's and any of this stuff is bad, 134 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 3: But it's just the business strategy. The reach, the audience 135 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 3: that they're going for is going to be very different. 136 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 3: And so I think that there's probably a world where, 137 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 3: you know, these big mainstream media outlets and the independent 138 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 3: journalists can coexist. I think it only works because the 139 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: frictions and the costs and the barriers to entry to 140 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 3: becoming an independent writer has come down significantly. 141 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: Let me ask you a sort of abstract question about 142 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: about Google Search as a source for new readers or 143 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 2: new blog followers or whatever. Cory Doctor uses the phrase 144 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 2: platform crapification, and we've certainly seen that with Google. I 145 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 2: find myself using Google far much less. The whole genius 146 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 2: of page ranks seems to have gone away. I don't 147 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: want their AI answer. I have perplexity on my phone. 148 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 2: I don't need them. If I want an AI answer, 149 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 2: I know exactly how to get it. What I want 150 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: is show me the top thirty fifty one hundred sites 151 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: that have this phrase or this topic, and I just 152 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 2: don't get that anymore, just fiston with so much garbage. 153 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 2: So the question I want to ask you is has 154 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 2: the slow I guess it's too early to call the 155 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 2: death of Google, but has the crapification of Google harmed 156 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 2: writers who are looking for an audience or are people 157 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 2: no longer relying on it? And word of mouth is 158 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: helping people looking from it? Yeah? 159 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 3: I would actually say it's probably helped. Really, I think 160 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 3: it's made it's it's hurt the large media companies significantly. 161 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 3: I think Wall Street Journal had an article, fabulous article 162 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 3: about this in terms of how much search traffic digital 163 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 3: media sites we're getting from from Google, and it's all shrink. 164 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 3: It has been shrinking. 165 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: It's collapsed, collapsed. 166 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a nightmare. But that also means if people 167 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 3: are spending less time being drawn to these mega properties, 168 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 3: well where are they going for their news and their information? 169 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 3: And maybe they're you know, gravitating toward you know, something 170 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 3: like a newsletter that they signed up because you know, 171 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 3: one of their friends shared something and they saw something 172 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 3: good here. 173 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: So so Google SEO is not a job anyone should 174 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 2: be thinking about that. That was a real job, certainly 175 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 2: since the nineties and two thousands. Yeah, hey, if you 176 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 2: can optimize for Google Search, here's a fire hose of traffic. 177 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 2: Just hope they never changed their algorithm. 178 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think, I think passively. I try 179 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 3: to be conscious of things that help improve the SEO 180 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 3: of anything I publish. But I'm not going to lose 181 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 3: sleep over it because you know, I might get a 182 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 3: couple more clicks. 183 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: It's so diminished today from from what it once was. 184 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 2: So what's been the most surprising part of this transition 185 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 2: to you know, hanging out your own newsletter? What's been 186 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 2: the most difficult part? 187 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 3: The most difficult part, you know, I you know, it 188 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 3: is very easy. All of the other resources you get 189 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 3: from working at a large company. You realize you took 190 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 3: all that stuff for granted, having access to really great 191 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 3: healthcare for a very cheap price. That's number one too. 192 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 3: When you have tech issues, you're not on the phone, 193 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 3: you know, when you're when you're employed by someone, you're 194 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 3: not the one on the phone with Verizon. Someone else 195 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 3: is taking care of that and. 196 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 2: You're here today coast your Verizon modem. 197 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, that that's the whole other, uh nightmare but but yeah, 198 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 3: all that stuff like you know, the ac doesn't work 199 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 3: in my apartment, you know who's paying for the snacks 200 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 3: and all this kind of stuff, and then you know 201 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: there are there are other things that are you know, 202 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 3: intangible value that that I really do miss about working 203 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 3: at at larger media companies, which is being surrounded by 204 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 3: people who are passionate about what they're doing. They're curious. 205 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 3: You can bounce ideas off and have something you know, 206 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 3: crushed or really developed, you know, in a room with 207 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 3: with with with people. So I think, you know, it's 208 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: a trade off though. The other thing being that as 209 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 3: an independent writer, I'm not in nearly as many meetings 210 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 3: as I used to. 211 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: You're not wasting as much time. So so final question, 212 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: someone thinking about a career change, thinking about hanging their 213 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 2: own jingle, what's the most important lesson you can impart 214 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 2: to those people? 215 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 3: You just have to go out and give it a shot. 216 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 3: It doesn't cost anything to start a website or a 217 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 3: blog on any of these newsletters, especially if you start 218 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 3: off free, and you know, if you might actually find 219 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 3: you have a passion for writing. Some people think that 220 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 3: they want to be a writer, they give it a shot. 221 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 3: They find out that they don't want to be a writer. 222 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 2: It's a lonely grind, it can be. 223 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 3: It can be very lonely. And then some people find 224 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 3: that it's therapeutic or it's a way to keep themselves organized. 225 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 3: You know. I've actually talked to a couple of financial 226 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 3: advisors who have started newsletters for no other reason than 227 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 3: to help them keep themselves organized, and have found an 228 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 3: audience for this because what they're doing for themselves is 229 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 3: actually benefiting someone else. Huhh. I think it's just worth 230 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 3: giving it a shot. 231 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 2: So to wrap up, if you're thinking about changing careers, 232 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 2: you should be paying attention to technology, what it's doing 233 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 2: to your field's revenue and profit models. Understand how technology 234 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 2: is changing the way business is being done. It's usually 235 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 2: better to jump than to be pushed. I'm Barry Redults. 236 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg's at the Money
